Raj Bhawan Road Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India, 171 002, 91-11-26868992

My last night in Delhi turned out rather exciting in many ways. First of all because the travel agent who was supposed to guide me to my bus was late, which resulted in an... interesting... 20 minute ride through Delhi on a motorcycle. This guy was going so fast my contact lenses began to rotate - or maybe that was just my struggling between the fear of looking and the fear of not looking. It turns out that this luxury A/C bus with extra leg-room was in fact just that. The only complaint I ha...
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India monostratosJust out of the bathtub my phone rang. "The owner requests your company in the lounge at 9:30". Well that's another first and of course I accepted the invitation. We spoke for hours, learning about each other's countries, drank the best beer I've ever had in India and... another first... I ate meat. The palace was just incredible. I was taken on a tour and treated to a very exciting family history. The owner and his family are decendants of the royal family of Jubbal, and so I ended up playin...

Shimla, Himāchal Pradesh, India himachalhotels... aggressive - and climbed to the monkey temple. Queued to be blessed by the holy man in the shrine - a saffron dot placed on our foreheads. The holyman paused in doing this only to take a call on his mobile - new India v old India cliche. <br><br>Leaving the temple we nearly were nearly caught in the cross fire of a turf war between a troop of monkeys and the local stray dogs. Much baring of teeth, shreaks and barks. It was unclear as to who won. <br>
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India williment... montagne.<br>Dopo 10 lunghissime ore di bus sono giunto a destinazione, talmente stanco da non avere nemmeno la forza di mangiare. Mi sono cercato un albergo, l'ho trovato sporchissimo e col bagno inutilizzabile, ma ho pagato pochissimo e stamattina alle 7 sono scappato. Rapida colazione e via alla stazione degli autobus, mi aspettano altre 10 ore di viaggio.<br>A presto.<br>
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India marcozio... en dan bracht hij ons naar een schone wc in een peperduur hotel. Hij wilde er niks voor terug. 'Because the chief minister said that every foreign tourist should be welcomed as a friend and guest'. Een heel bijzondere ontmoeting met een man die zelfs in de New York times stond en die in sommige guide books wordt genoemd. Lieve mensen, terwijl het bij jullie warmer wordt hebben wij wolle vesten, handschoenen en mutsen gekocht. 's Avonds koelt het hier flink af en ...
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India britatrapman... Rama win a legendary battle. We think that it is this fact that has caused these monkeys to be deeply affected by some monkey equivalent of hubris as they are the sneakiest and nastiest accumulation of their genus around. Their first offence was when a mother carrying a baby (part of the ploy we think) was tracking nonchalantly next to us up the steep steps leading up to the temple. Before you could say "gibbon" the miscreant chad bounded up onto Jeff's head ...
Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India jenandjeffmilum... I could see the foothills of the Himalayas which looked very dramatic. We pulled into Kalka bus station about an hour after leaving Chandigarh and I asked in the bus station where the train station was. There were 2 ladies and a guy in an office and they said that it was up the hill about 0.5km away. The sound of a hill with my backpack didn't sound good so I took an auto rickshaw, which was parked outside the bus station, up to the train station. The train ...
Shimla, India glyn... I later learned it was infact a distant relative of the allworthy's, this explained alot. (joke for leeds people,ed) We leave tomorrow morning 4 a 9 hour bus ride to Mcleod Ganj where the Tibetan government live in exile with the dalai lama. I may grant him an audience with me. Apparently its more like tibet than indea because so many tibetans have escaped there and made it their home. I hope the tibetans have some sort of basic grasp of hygeine. I really hope they do. Bye-bye.
Shimla, India masterflaps... Two guys, a snail, and a marijuana plant The picture should do the talking. Our first taste of marijuana (minus the taste part). They are coming after us! My first look at the species. Looks fairly sedate. Giving the snail a run for its money maybe. What's the fuss about marijuana anyway? DJ in my mind (phrase picked up from Sundar, my brother) playing: 'Boss kaun tha?' - from Jhankaar Beats, the movie starring Rahul Bose. The rest of the cast being ...
